Just completed hooking up a network switch for Mark to have in his place to plug in other network stuff to CAT5 Cable. We ran a test on his old computer running 24.04 Ubuntu Linux and...

Beauty of this network. Im firewall secure. Im also behind the firewall of Starlink (CGNAT). Then hooked up IPv6 internet address system. My WiFi is separate from the cabled network so people on WiFi can't see any of my PCs (cable driven). I've had several WiFi devices hoping on from neighbors wanting to get any signal. My neighbor to the south has no internet. So her kids jump on when visiting.

 

Cat5 cable devices - 192.168.0.xxx

Guest WiFi - 192.168.10.xxx

Private WiFi - 192.168.20.xxx

 

My guest users are limited to 10Mbits down and 5Mbits up. Private WiFi is unrestricted. Then Cat5 cable devices are even faster at a full 1Gbit up or down. All device are load balanced too so no one can horde the bandwidth.

 

My guest account is without any password and fully open to any one to use even broke down people stuck along the highway. My outdoor WiFi is 1/4 watt and transmits over 700 feet. My indoor heads are also 1/4 watt too but 2.4GHz and 5 GHz frequencies biased towards 5GHz first for speed and auto-magically backs down to 2.4GHz for range when needed.

 

Managed Controller TP-Link SG2428 and Gateway ER605

Interesting, I found that my network is viewable directly over the Omada App. Like today, I'm down in Boise with @Tweety Bird and I started playing with my phone. Sure enough, my network is viewable from my cellphone. I'm going to do some experiments on this and see if i could bind a URL to my home server; and port forward to the world wide web, possibly. At this point, I could very well create a Private Cloud for our own use as I travel for medical reasons and be able to handle all the website needs without being home. Still wondering if I could complete a port forward say 22 and 80 out to the web.

 

Time to get crafty.
